I think your comment
"Compare that number to the number of silly old fools driving through floodwater every couple of years.
"
is extremely poor form and shows your total insensitivity towards the "silly old fools" and their families that lost everything in the last Townsville floods through no fault of their own.
Quite frankly I really couldn't give a toss how many drove to work on Tuesday 9 August 2016 nor how many kilometres they commute every day.
I might be a dick but you are showing your total arrogance, contempt and insensitivity as to how and where many Australians choose to live. I hope you never have to experience a flood or cyclone and lose your life belongings in the process
Good luck on your future EV travels and watch out for the kangaroos on the road
I hope the doors are wide enough to fit your ego in without bumping your head
